David Foster Wallace - This Is Water

I started to relate to the speech, when he mentions the examples of situations in the grocery store about people, about what I think about them, about what others think, I understood. I agree with him in the sense that we should not think that we are the center of the universe, that we are only person who matters, I see people yelling at people who work jobs I am sure they do not want to be at, not fulfilling the dreams they had. Overall there was not much that I disagreed with, it just opened my mind to thinking more, to really start to question things I see again, because the reality of it all is that I don't know, and people should not just think about themselves,and we need to be aware of the little things in life,

 My whole life I have had one goal in life, go to the University of Southern California, to get that letter in the mail, that says "USC takes great pleasure in informing you of your acceptance for the class if 2018." While I am attending the University of Southern California I have two majors in mind that I want to study, those being law and or sports journalism. While I am also there I want to take advantage of being able to go to one of the best cinema schools in the country and get a minor there.


I feel like for the most part I am ready for college, mostly when it comes to the academic side of it, I am definitely a little scared of the life aspect. I think that for most people the aspect of living on our own for the first time is what scares people the most, it's a big change for most people, while I am nervous I am not to worried about it. I think that now that I have seen this video I think I am going to think more while I am at college, and I believe that I will be more aware of others situations.


I think what excites me most about graduating from ASU Prep is that it's kind of the transition from childhood to adulthood, we go from living with out parents to living in a dorm with a bunch of strangers. I think the future of being at college is what excites me the most, meeting new people and being able to work toward and fulfilling my dreams. Now what scares me is the unknown, not knowing if I'll get there, just the whole unknown, but I never said that I wasn't up to the challenge.


I believe that I am ready to take care of myself in the "real world" I usually am pretty independent so I think I am ready to take on the challenges that it throws at me. To me the "real world" is the same as adulthood, it's about getting a job, living on your own, and being able to take care of yourself. This is what we all have to face, this is what we all have to take on, and I would by lying to you if I said that I wasn't nervous, but I'll have to face those roadblocks when I get there.
